Most of our lives are spent carrying out necessary routines: eating, doing dishes, washing, cleaning, driving, and (hopefully) exercising. If we work, our job might be quite ordinary, menial, or boring. Day follows day, and we don’t expect to ever appear on the evening news. Take heart! While researching the lives of saints, I found that several of them bear witness to and teach that holiness that can come from simply living a normal life faithfully.
